Vid2txt is a small desktop app for turning recordings into text. You drag a video or audio file onto it, and it writes a .txt transcript plus .srt and .vtt subtitle files. The site says the work happens offline, so files stay on your machine. It lists support for mp4, mov, wmv, mkv, avi, flv, wav, mp3, and m4a. The company describes it as a utility that does one thing, and sells it as a one-time purchase rather than a subscription. The homepage shows a price of $10 for a limited time, so the cost may change later. The page does not state whether an account is needed, whether an API exists, or whether the code is open source. It also does not name the platforms it runs on. Check the accuracy on your own audio and confirm the output files fit your editing workflow before relying on it.
